King Solomons Mines

For the first time since his 1986 starring role in the Civil War epic “North and South,” three-time Golden Globe Award nominee Patrick Swayze returns to television drama in “King Solomon’s Mines,” a tantalizing treasure viewers will discover Saturday, June 12 (5/4c). An encore presentation follows at 9/8c.

Lensed on location in South Africa, “King Solomon’s Mines” is a romantic action-adventure set against the backdrop of 19th century Africa. Based on H. Rider Haggard’s wildly popular novel, the excitement unfolds around heroic explorer Allan Quatermain, a grieving widower fighting for custody of his young son. Hired by the beautiful daughter of an Oxford professor to find her father – who has vanished without a trace – Quatermain returns to the Dark Continent and embarks on a dangerous quest to rescue the captive archeologist, who holds the key to untold treasures – and ultimate power.
